Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for posttraumatic headaches based on the Veteran's symptoms of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks that are productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache disability more closely approximates the criteria for a 50 percent rating throughout the appeal period, as his headaches are described as 'very frequent' and 'prolonged', with symptoms capable of producing severe economic inadaptability.
